(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The arrest of former Acting Chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has continued to generate controversy as veteran Journalist and former presidential spokesperson, Segun Adeniyi, in his weekly column had narrated how Magu had stopped billionaire TY Danjuma from buying an aircraft and how TY Danjuma had rushed to President Buhari to complain.

Also, Adenyi disclosed that Magu also raided and searched the home of Nigerian former head of state, Abdusalm Abubakar. These actions, according to Adeniyi, are part of the reason why Magu is facing his present ordeal.

Both TY Danjuma and Abubakar have already denied that they have anything to do with the case of Magu and even Adeniyi have stated that he wrote in “anecdotes” and he was misunderstood by his readers.

However, one case that just won’t go is the allegation levelled against the Vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, by another journalist, Jackson Ude, who stated that Osinbajo collected N4 billion naira as bribe from the embattled EFCC boss, CP Magu.

Here are some of their views.

Jackson Ude@jacksonpbn wrote: “Since Osinbajo, the Star Boy, is denying, let’s have lawyers compel the Presidential Panel investigating Magu and the Police, to release the verbatim transcripts of Magu’s confessions. This is not about waving immunity. Oya, let’s go there ndi Lawyers!”
